Lenny, age 23

I’m a 23-year-old cockatiel living in Bellaire. I’ve been with our family since about 22 years ago, when I was acquired from an acquaintance when my owner was in graduate school. I’ve been with my owner ever since, moving from Michigan to Illinois and to Texas. I’ve even outlived three cats, and I was always kept safely in a room that the cats couldn’t access. People originally thought I was a male, but shortly after moving to Texas, I began laying eggs at 18 years old! I enjoy sitting on people's shoulders and having my head scratched. I like to listen to music and I love eating treats like cold pasta, Rice Krispies and Cheerios. I also like to take an occasional bath in the sink. I’m the smallest family member, but I make my presence known by chirping loudly throughout the day.
